The Musser Crew

After bombing Tokyo, the last B-29 in a formation became a victim of flak and afire, circled over the village and disintegrated in the air. 10 crew members including Capt. John L. MUSSER (A/C) were killed in the crash and their bodies were buried near the crash site.

2/Lt. Eugene A. HOMYAK landed safely near Kashiwa Airfield, and Cpl. Jack D. KRONE in Tanaka-mura, Katsushika-gun, (present Kashiwa-shi), Chiba-ken. They were taken prisoners by Kashiwa Kempei Tai members and sent to Tokyo Kempei Tai.

Cpl. KRONE was poisoned by reason of his fatal wound. 2/Lt. HOMYAK was transferred to Tokyo Military Prison and burned to death in the fire air raid on May 25-26.
